Puppies, puppies and other doggies

Yep, it's the time of year when many puppies are out on the streets, end up at pounds and of course we run to the rescue! Can't have puppies put down, it's just not right!

Tonight, we picked up:
Two 6 week old boys, Rascal & Hunter are very tiny and oh so cute - not sure of their breed but will be medium size.
A 9 week old female black lab which we named Twinkle.
A 9-10 month old gorgeous tan Husky which we named Page. She has one blue eye and one green eye - just adorable & very sweet!
They are in quaranteen for now, will be going to the vet's this week for their first DHPP and the Husky for her spay and rabies. See pictures below to be posted on our website once we get the thumbs up from our vet!

On Saturday, we took in Miley, an 11 month old female German Sheppard who is pregnant with 6 puppies, she is due in 18 days, if all goes well that is. She was flown down by another rescue from James Bay but the problem is that the pups she arrived with died of parvo so she is in quaranteen for another week. Send good thoughts that she doesn't get Parvo otherwise she won't make it due to her pregnancy! Of course, we can't give her any shots as she is pregnant but the vet's are doing research to see what could be done for her.

We also took in a pomeranian named Troy on the weekend from another rescue who is in pretty bad shape, needs major dental work (stinky breath), has ringworms so will be here for over a month on medicated shampoo, antibiotics, etc... Of course that means we can't neuter him or give him the dental work needed as he needs to get healthy first. He has scared us a few times, one night he could barely walk so it was difficult to take him out for his business. We gave him vitamins and oil of oregano and the next morning he was running again as if nothing had happened - thank god! He is really a nice dog, although he doesn't look too cute right now due to the lack of hair but really nice personality - the vet was able to do anything with him.

All in all, it's going to be a very busy summer as anticipated and we are just so excited! If you can help in any way either by donating or volunteering - give us a call or send a cheque to NARC, 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9.
